HtORE BRAZOS PRESSURE
■Dotton crop figures
VduCHESSES TO FAIR
We have a letter from Walter
editor of the Temple
Dally Telegram, who, along with
!'■ hundreds of others is greatly Inter-
ested in seeing that the Brazos Pam
project become realities. He believes
that the future of this great develop-
ment depends on what is done in the
new days or next few weeks at the
most. And he sums up the situation
this way; “An application for six
of'the dams out of the project’s 13
£ < has been filed with PWA at Fort
Worth. Hardly had it been filed than
Secretary Harold Ickes sounded off
with a statement that Texas was
asking for too much, and already had
more than Its share. He intimated
E '» strongly that it didn’t have a chance.
Following the release of the govern-
ment cotton crop report, it’s of in-
terest to note the number Of b&les
produced in Grimes County since
1931. Then the \ total was 28,568; in
1932. 20,702; in 1933, 20,674; in 1934,
17,126; in 1935; 13,363; in 1936, 8.544;
and in 1937, 20,142. A crop of ap-
aboard on errors
From the fourth
score remained 2 to 0.
Similar statements have been made
by him in letters. The job of the hour
is to convince Ickes, and he's hard
■ to convince. Texas has NOT had
more than its share of public works,
and it is highly unfair for Mr. Ickes
to take this prejudicial attitude to-
ward the state’s largest and most im-
portant project.’’ If Texas makes
enough noise it Is bound to tib recog-
nized, and as the Temple editor points
out Senator Tom Connally has agreed
to go to bat on this application and
to lead the assault on the powers
that be in Washington. But he's got
to have lots of backing. Here’s where
Navasotians and all those in this vast
area that are affected come in. They
can bombard Secretary Ickes wit^ so
many letters that he could hardly fail
to realize its significance. Every-
body’s ready to "build some pretty
big fires up and down this water-
shed, so that we can increase im-
measurably our chances of securing
thia project"

AUSTIN. Aug. 9 — Arrests of
truck drivers hauling loads and oth-
erwise Violating registration ■ laws
have increased 25 per cent since the
Department of Public Safety cre-
ated a special detail of state police
for that type of enforcement work
last June, according to Captain Ho-
mer Garrison, Jr., assistant public
safety director.
While the special
clothesmen was directing attention
to load law violators, state patrol-
men, ts|ieved of that responsibility,
brought about a 14 per cent reduc-
tion in traffic deaths on Texas high-
ways.
The license and weight inspectors,
all veterans In that type of work,
lodged 1,562 complaints against com-
mercial vehicle operators in July. Vio-
lations of the 7,000 pound load limit
law were charged In 1,395 of the
cases; 39 were for Improper registra-
tions; 14 for failure to have chauf-
feur licenses; 33 for speeding, and
70 for other motor code offenses ac-
cording to J. W. Longley, chief in-
spector of the new division.
Until the new unit was assigned
to duty recently, patrolmen had di-
vided their activities between the
weighing of truck and enforcement
of moving traffic law offenses. Un-
der the new operating plan mounted
patrolmen direct their activities to
ward assisting motorists and redua-
ing speeding, careless driving and
other violations to which most death*
dealing accidents are traceable.
'This new system has brought
gratifying results’’, Captain Garrison
said. “Every man can perform hie
duties with a maximum of efficiency
when he does not have to divide his
time. The good results are shown in
the increased truck law violation ar-
rests and the sharp decline in tragio
traffic tolls." " . .

The officer found the family-fath-

their conveyance. Patrolman Lowry
arranged for the necessary supplies
and sent them on their way.

four children riding in a naw auto-

DALLAS, Aug. 9 — The Bureau
of Agricultural Economics makes
this preliminary report for Texas on
the grade, staple length, and tender-
ability of cotton ginned prior to
August 1. The report is based on the
official classification of samples re-
ceived from cooperating glnners.
(The semi-monthly report, which is
being inaugurated this season, takes
the place of weekly reports that were
issued during the principal part of
the ginning seasons 1932-33 to 1937-38,
inclusive. It will be issued on the
same dates that the Census releases
figures on ginnings.)
According to the Bureau of the
Census, 158,000 running bales were
ginned in Texas from the 1938 crop
prior to August 1. of the cotton
ginned prior to August 1, 1938, it is
estimated by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural economics that 50 per cent
proximately 15,000 bales is the unoffi-^ waa strict Middling White and bet-
ter in grade; 45 per cent was Mid-
dling White; and only 5 per cent
waa Strict Low Middling and below.
Only 0.4 per cent of the cotton class-
ed was of the Spotted grades.
Less than 1 per cent was shorter
than 7/8 inch in staple length; 43
per cent ranged from 7/8 to 31/32
inch; and 56 per cent was 1 inch
and longer.
Ginnings prior to August 1 this
season are higher in grade and long-
er in staple length than cotton class-
ed to approximately the same date
last season. Last season, 65 per cent
of sampler classed were Middling
White and better* in grade, compared
with nearly 496 per cent this season.
Last season, only 13 per cent was
reported as 1 inch and longer In
staple length, against 56 per cent this
season.
Of the ten Grade and Staple Dis-
tricts In Texas, only the two extreme
southern districts are represented
in this report
